Paul logs on for learning!

Paul Walker from Heathcotes Knollbeck recently signed up to a 12 week computer course at the Cortonwood Comeback Centre in Brampton. The Centre was established in 1987 by members of the local community who recognised a need to tackle the problems of unemployment, exclusion and disadvantage within Brampton and the surrounding areas, following the miners strike. It now provides a variety of opportunities for people of all ages, including:

Meeting places for informal get togethers

Education and training for people wanting to develop more skills

Information and advice for jobs

Benefit advice

Help setting up new groups

Room hire

Free internet access

Volunteering

Lynsey Hutson, the Registered Manager, said " Since moving to Heathcotes Knollbeck, Paul has been wanting to complete some form of training, so when his Key Worker found this course it was a perfect starter for Paul to make that step."

Paul added, "Im dead excited about learning how to use a computer properly."
